""The National Film Registry and film preservation are so important because it keeps the integrity of cinema alive for multiple generations.""
""When we were first starting to try to figure out, how do we tell this story... the architecture and the landscapes... they don't exist anymore," Andserson said in a statement, explaining that he started his research in the Library of Congress "We just went through the entire photocrom collection, which is a lot of images. And ... we made our own versions of things, but much of what is in our film comes directly - with our little twist on it - from that collection, from the library, the Library of Congress.""
"Other contemporary movies added to the registry include The Truman Show (1998), Frida (2002), The Incredibles (2004) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), set in an Alpine resort in the 1930s."
The National Film Registry added four documentaries and several contemporary films to its 2025 list. Ken Burns' first major documentary, The Brooklyn Bridge (1981), is included. Widely familiar additions include The Big Chill (1983), Before Sunrise (1995), Clueless (1995) and The Karate Kid (1984). Other contemporary inclusions are The Truman Show (1998), Frida (2002), The Incredibles (2004) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). Ralph Macchio expressed pride and emphasized the importance of film preservation for keeping cinema's integrity alive for multiple generations. Wes Anderson credited research in the Library of Congress photocrom collection as a visual influence on The Grand Budapest Hotel.
